Bob Sapp NYE? vs. Yoshida?

There was talk a while ago of Bob Sapp returning to Pride after his falling out with K-1. Any word on that?

I'd love to see him fight Yoshida. And it would be huge.

Could Yoshida throw him? Will he try to bullrush him and get tripped and beaten like a beached whale again?

You saw how easily Fujita put Sapp on his back. I'll bet Yoshida would find a way to toss him down. Put him off balance, use his own weight and momentum. Yoshida's first KO by throw? It could happen, though I doubt it.

Yoshida was able to trade punches with Wandy and Cro Cop. I doubt Sapp would just blow him out right away. Hard fight to call.

Why? Because Sapp is big and strong?

Judo throws and trips aren't based *so* much upon strength. More about balance and momentum. And the way Sapp charges, I'll bet Yoshida could trip him. (If Sapp were wearing a gi there'd be no question about it.)

If Fedor is out, Pride will need something big to make up for it. And the absence of Fedor and Cro Cop should free up a lot of money, right? I'm hoping they're going to spend it on Bob Sapp.

The other likelihood being Rulon Gardner.
